“animal: evolves to run away from predators as a defense mechanism”
humans: ayo, catch that shit and put it in circle with wood so they can’t leave, since, you know, they like to move. Also posts provide all their food and water and let them fuck to make more. Eat them with the evil plants.
An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It’s been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.
It’s done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It’s not that it’s not tolerable, it’s just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.
I mean, aside from foldables, why should I buy a new phone if nothing’s changed much. Most new Android releases seem to make me dislike something here and there.
I’ve had this phone for about a year and a half now, I’m going to take it to a phone repair place and swap out the battery for a new one, then it will be just like new
What about comments though?
Well yeah, but they expect people talking nonsense to get pummeled in the court of public opinion
That’s literally not free speech. If I say I like to eat broccoli every day and that people should try it for health reasons and you’re some kind of carnivore mod and it tickles you the wrong way and you block me for it… That’s censorship and the opposite of free speech.
You’re telling me that you control the narrative. Now there’s nuance to censorship for sure, but you’re telling me that if you don’t like what I say I’m out. I have to type within the confines of the bubble of what isn’t too uncomfortable for you.
I say let the downvotes do the talking. If I go on the electric vehicles instance talking about how (non-ironocally) I love to roll coal and how that’s what’s keeping me from trying EVs, I expect to be downvoted into the shadow realm. And that’s ok. What I’m not ok with is a mod assuming that my voice sucks and that I don’t deserve to be heard. Maybe some smart lemmier(?) will point out some doodad that makes a brrr noise and shoots out some harmless mist or something.
… the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for president…
You do realize that she was extremely widely disliked right? You do realize that we got Trump because the Democrats wanted a stack the deck in her favor by giving air time to the looniest sounding opponent? You two realize that despite all that, she did not have a clear win?
She was so qualified that people thought that the" you’re fired" guy with connections to the mob or whatever, dealings and cover ups with a pornstar, and (at the time) widely talked about connections with a foreign power… Got into the white house?
And you have a gal to blame people who exercise their democratic right to vote? Fuck you. It’s people like you who are the reason that we’re stuck in this polarized two party system.
As for RGB, yes she should have retired under Obama. The Republicans did all kinds of shenanigans to get all their supreme Court people in, and it’s okay when they do it, but the Democrats have to fight clean or whatever, so now Row v. Wade is gone
I’d be more happy if they just dug a really big borehole and then just filled it up where no one lives
If a product can be offered without much issue on a pay once and own-as-is forever model, then I think there is an ethical imperative to pirate it.
I would be willing to pay a few hundred bucks for a perpetual license to look 2023 version of Adobe Lightroom. Unfortunately the only place to find such a product is on the high seas. Adobe will only let you buy a subscription based equivalent. I like the actual software product, and I’ve gotten good at using it, but if I can’t just buy it, I’m not going to pay for it.
I actually have a plug-in for Lightroom called topaz Labs AI enhancement suite. I pay for a single year’s worth of updates, but I can still use the software as of the final update forever. If Adobe actually offered something like that I would be all over it.
No, no it’s not.
I’m not a right wing person, but I’m not a fan of the current neoliberal culture war people from the democrats either.
Speaking as an independent, people for unironically say the word bigot come off as unpalatable as people who unironically (actually ironically is probably worse) say the word snowflake. And really, you’re saying effing? Say your curse worse and commit or don’t bother.
The biggest weapon the objectively immoral on the right have is the subjective disgust they have with ‘leftist’ social rhetoric. Everyone is just reactionary and out country is in a mutually abusive relationship with a side of self harm
On meltdown issues maybe, but if it’s one of the molten salt types, they generate way more waste. Old school rods make long term storage of waste actually pretty easy
The control panel peaked at windows 7 though
Also, when I leave my work laptop at work I don’t feel compelled to do any more work after I leave the office. When I take it home with me I have a constant feeling that usually ends up with me checking emails or finishing stuff at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.
It’s like homework that never ever ever gets finished and I’m tired of pretending that it’s not literally homework.
It definitely depends. I generally do work from home on fridays, but I give barely any fucks about work on Friday. I am way more productive in the office. That’s said, my commute is literally 7 minutes so I don’t really care. It’s actually kind of nice to mentally transition myself from work to home.
Bruh, just do your job/hobby. Mods acting high and mighty is a big part of what made reddit so toxic.
I’d happily pay for a 2023 Adobe Lightroom classic. Unfortunately Adobe doesn’t offer this, but I can find it sailing the high seas branded this way.
It’d be cool to just buy it and get a year’s worth of updates with the option of going subscription then
To be fair I think the donkey heads have had multiple opportunities to fix things and I still think RGB was a selfish idiot. I really don’t know what the elephant heads are thinking in the long term, the only reason they don’t landslide lose because of this is because the donkey heads do everything they can to make progress at the pace of a geriatric snail while preaching controversial stuff on purpose.
It feels like San Francisco’s fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it’s cheap to manufacture and people think it’s trendy.
I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.
I’m waiting for a Sony Xperia foldable. Hamburger style obviously.
